• Pedro Sánchez signed a commitment to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, while lowering Spain's figure to 2.1%.
• Despite public criticism from Donald Trump, Sánchez faced no repercussions from NATO allies in private meetings.
• Sánchez is accused of playing both sides, internally positioning himself as opposed to more defense spending, while boasting increased spending to NATO.
• Sánchez's government has been increasing security spending without oversight from Congress or public knowledge.

Conclusion: Sánchez is handling Spain's position in terms of defense and security according to his personal convenience, balancing a public image of opposition to military spending with an increase in investment behind the scenes.
